“Great tour with Yoshi ”
We did a morning tour with Yoshi on our first morning in Tokyo. He met us at our hotel and we travelled on the subway. We chose to see the Imperial Gardens with the cherry blossoms, the Meiji shrine, Takeshita Street for novelties and the Shibuya crossing. We all had lunch at the shrine. Yoshi shared some interesting history and information about the various landmarks. He walks quite quickly so would advise telling him when you want to stop to take in a site or take photos. Overall, a great introduction to Tokyo for us
